Hi all:

I'm having an interesting problem with my connection.

I recently installed Gentoo onto my laptop, and I've been trying to get it set up. It installed correctly with no problems, and, with the help of Knoppix (and chrooting into Gentoo to download the necessary) kdebase (3.3.2) was compiled succesfully.

However, here's the problem:

I have two ways to connect:

eth0 - Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG (Not trying to get this working just yet)
eth1 - Intel Integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet Card

When I'm chrooted into Gentoo through Knoppix, all I have to do is type

Code:
# dhcpcd eth1


And I can connect to the internet (and thereby get the files needed through emerge)

But, when I'm logged directly into Gentoo, when I try to dhcpcd I get:

Code:
error: eth1 not found


Any ideas?

the network driver is probably not loaded,
can you show me to output of

Code:
ifconfig -a


(to see if your network card is recognized)
and

Code:
lsmod


(to see which drivers are loaded)

I think you're right.

Code:
#if config -a
lo                       Link emap: Local Loopback
                          inet addr: 127.0.0.1  Mask: 255.0.0.0
                          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU: 16436
                          RX packets: 4 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0
                          TX packets:  4 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 carrier: 0 collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 0
                          RX bytes: 200 (200.b) TX bytes: 200 (200.b)


Code:
#lsmod

Try

Code:
modprobe e100


I believe e100 is the Intel driver and after this try
Code:
ifconfig -a


again, if the network card is there you can start it with

Code:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start


Success!

Not success, sadly.

When I tried to modprobe e100, I got:

Code:
#FATAL: Module Not Found


Thinking this meant that I hadn't yet emerged e100, I did so and got this error when I tried to emerge it:

Code:
ERROR: net-misc/e100-2.3.43 failed,
function sic_compile.  Line 18, Exitcode 2


When I try to dhcpcd eth1, I get this error:

Code:
dhcpcd: host lookup name failure


---

Also, I tried to emerge out the tools I'd need to get my wireless connection to work (because, I figured, while I'm doing this, might get other things as well)

So, I emerged wpa_supplicant (I'd previously emerged wirelesstools and my home wireless network uses WPA) and ipw2200 (which included both the driver and the firmware)

Well, the firmware emerged just fine, but I got this error when emerging the driver:

Code:
ipw2200-1.0.3 requires support for AES cipher algorithms (i586) (CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_586)


I guess it looks like I've got to recompile my kernel for this one?
